::A suggestion: Give the page name a '''Meta:''' prefix. Having a namespace for such data would be, IMO, a good solution. Even better would be to support the '''$(Wiki name):''' prefix, but that might be asking too much. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 21:41, 4 October 2007 (EDT) | ::A suggestion: Give the page name a '''Meta:''' prefix.

:::I think a prefix isn't nessesary for wikis that are open to the [[Wiki]] idea (look at our and their [[WikiNode]] and [[TourBusStop]] articles). Everyone who discovered the wikis wants more of that stuff, and must be interested in our WikiIndex. On the other side, you are right, there are wikis that are highly specialized to their topic. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 02:49, 5 October 2007 (EDT) | |||

I am not sure I understand what is being suggested here. With respect to maintaining the wiki pages in WikiIndex up-to-date I suspect the onus is on the owners of the wiki sites. I say this because as far as I know WikiIndex is not 'automatic' (unlike [http://www.editthis.info/wiki/Main_Page]); people have to actively create a page for their wiki site in WikiIndex. Secondly, it would be good to copy the bot used by the guys at S23 (see for example [http://s23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php?sort=good_desc,total_desc&th=100&lines=2026]). They collect the raw stats each day to update their lists. This model could be used by WikiIndex in order to keep the 'wiki_pages' parameter as accurate as possible. --[[User:Spud Gun | <b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User_talk:Spud_Gun |talk]]) 04:59, 4 October 2007 (EDT) | I am not sure I understand what is being suggested here.
